Scenes i'm and about the Opera House.
House at 10 O'Clock this morning was distin-
heads, gray heads and white whiskers, gold
glasses, and sedate black frock coats On the
breast OF each broadcloth was the blue ribbon and
the silver medal OF Columbus adopted by the
Medical Congress as the badge OF the delegates.
And there Were almost as many ladies as men, but
only two or three OF these wore badges they
were only the wives or daughters OF Tie doctors.
A row OF doctors In shiny black coats sat on the
curbing at either side OF the entrance

MISSIONARY MEETING.
An Ingenious Scheme for Raising a
Missionary Fund

Missionary Fund.
Last Monday afternoon, after an interest
ing meeting Of the Young Ladies' Foreign
Missionary Society Of the First Congrega-
tional Church, presided over by Mrs. A. NJ,
Lothrop, a dinner was given its former
president, Miss Potter Cnow Mrs. Hatch, Of
Maine). The tables, in the form Of three
sided square, were handsomely arranged
and beautifully filed. and about forty were
seated for the collation.. Among those
present were Miss Ella Morrison, Miss
Wyman, Miss Carrie Kidwell, Miss Inch,
Miss Louise Hopkins, Mrs. Ball, Mrs. Sea
man, Mrs. Gen. Whttlesey, Mrs. and Miss
Chickering, Misses Mann, Bailey, Gibbs,
Purman, Hooper, Cook, Miss Hattie Luslr,
Miss Emily Robinson, Miss Cobb, Miss Hol.
brook, Miss Kennedy, Miss Demond, Miss
Emma Wheeler, and Mrs. Paul.
After the feast modes Of raising missionary
money were discussed, but the most in-
genious and origin-l method suggested was
that adopted by small Sunday school out
west, where each teacher and scholar started
with just one cent each and speculated on
that amount during the year, all trying to
see how much the capital could be increased
at the end OF twelve months. The highest
amount raised wns SO. One scholar In
vested his penny in pop, corn, popped IT
and sold II for five cents, which was his be-
ginning. Eight Of the little boys clubbcd
together and bought some eggs, "borro wed
hen," and started in the poultry business;
and another bought some paper, composed
and wrote q hymn and sold II for her
starter.
After hearing OF these small beginnings
the First Congregational ladies resolved to
each start In with twenty-five cents and see
how much they could increase their capital
during the year. $50 II any lady wants
fancy work done, cake made, aprons con-
stfucted, or hats trimmed, just call upon
US, and thus help in our missionary specu-
lstlon," is the announcement made by the
ladies Of the society mentioned.

The room is cold and dark tonight
The fire is low;
Why come you, you who love the light,
To mock me so!
Ipray you leave me now alone;
You worked your will
And turned my heart to frozen stone:
Why haunt me stills
got me to this empty place;
/ shut the door;
Yet through the dark see your face
Just as Of yore.
The old smile curves your lips tonight,
Your deep eyes glow
With that old CLEAN that made them bright
So long ago.
listen: do hear your tone
The silence thriof
Why come youf would be alone:
Why vex me stillf
What! Would you that we re-embrace-
We two once moref
Are these your tears that wet my face
Just as befores
You left to seek some new delight,
Yet your tears now:
What sorrow brings you back tonight
Shall not knowf
/ will not let you grieve alone
The night is chill
Though love Is dead and hope has flown,
Pity lives still.
How silent is the empty space!
Dreamed once more?
Henceforth against your haunting face
Tbar the door.
